Understanding Predator-Prey Interactions: Impacts and Equilibria
Explore the dynamics of predator-prey interactions, including what defines a predator, the impacts predators have on prey populations, and the equilibrium points in the Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey model. Discover how predation plays a crucial role in regulating population densities and observe the

Understanding Lotka-Volterra Model for Predator-Prey Dynamics
The Lotka-Volterra model explores the intricate interactions between predator and prey populations, depicting oscillations in their sizes where the predator's peak lags behind the prey's. This model makes assumptions about exponential prey growth, predator starvation in prey absence, and unlimited p

Understanding Grazing and Regulation in Ecosystems
Exploring the dynamics of grazing and regulation in ecosystems, this content delves into the interaction between grazers and plants. Contrasting top-down versus bottom-up regulation, it discusses how grazers impact plant populations without necessarily killing individuals. By modeling plant-grazer i

Understanding Lotka-Volterra Model in Mathematical Modelling
Explore the dynamics of predator-prey systems through the Lotka-Volterra model, including equilibrium points, behavior around equilibria, linearization, eigenvalue analysis, and classification of equilibria based on real and complex eigenvalues.
